Add an optional Name field to webhooks so users can give them
human-readable labels instead of relying only on URLs. The webhook
overview page now displays names when available, or falls back to the
URL for unnamed webhooks.

## Overview
This PR introduces granular permission controls for Gitea Actions tokens
(`GITEA_TOKEN`), aligning Gitea's security model with GitHub Actions
standards while maintaining compatibility with Gitea's unique repository
unit system.
It addresses the need for finer access control by allowing
administrators and repository owners to define default token
permissions, set maximum permission ceilings, and control
cross-repository access within organizations.
## Key Features
### 1. Granular Token Permissions
- **Standard Keyword Support**: Implements support for the
`permissions:` keyword in workflow and job YAML files (e.g., `contents:
read`, `issues: write`).
- **Permission Modes**:
- **Permissive**: Default write access for most units (backwards
compatible).
- **Restricted**: Default read-only access for `contents` and
`packages`, with no access to other units.
- ~~**Custom**: Allows defining specific default levels for each unit
type (Code, Issues, PRs, Packages, etc.).~~**EDIT removed UI was
confusing**
- **Clamping Logic**: Workflow-defined permissions are automatically
"clamped" by repository or organization-level maximum settings.
Workflows cannot escalate their own permissions beyond these limits.
### 2. Organization & Repository Settings
- **Settings UI**: Added new settings pages at both Organization and
Repository levels to manage Actions token defaults and maximums.
- **Inheritance**: Repositories can be configured to "Follow
organization-level configuration," simplifying management across large
organizations.
- **Cross-Repository Access**: Added a policy to control whether Actions
workflows can access other repositories or packages within the same
organization. This can be set to "None," "All," or restricted to a
"Selected" list of repositories.
### 3. Security Hardening
- **Fork Pull Request Protection**: Tokens for workflows triggered by
pull requests from forks are strictly enforced as read-only, regardless
of repository settings.
- ~~**Package Access**: Actions tokens can now only access packages
explicitly linked to a repository, with cross-repo access governed by
the organization's security policy.~~ **EDIT removed
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/36173#issuecomment-3873675346**
- **Git Hook Integration**: Propagates Actions Task IDs to git hooks to
ensure that pushes performed by Actions tokens respect the specific
permissions granted at runtime.
### 4. Technical Implementation
- **Permission Persistence**: Parsed permissions are calculated at job
creation and stored in the `action_run_job` table. This ensures the
token's authority is deterministic throughout the job's lifecycle.
- **Parsing Priority**: Implemented a priority system in the YAML parser
where the broad `contents` scope is applied first, allowing granular
scopes like `code` or `releases` to override it for precise control.
- **Re-runs**: Permissions are re-evaluated during a job re-run to
incorporate any changes made to repository settings in the interim.
### How to Test
1. **Unit Tests**: Run `go test ./services/actions/...` and `go test
./models/repo/...` to verify parsing logic and permission clamping.
2. **Integration Tests**: Comprehensive tests have been added to
`tests/integration/actions_job_token_test.go` covering:
- Permissive vs. Restricted mode behavior.
- YAML `permissions:` keyword evaluation.
- Organization cross-repo access policies.
- Resource access (Git, API, and Packages) under various permission
configs.
3. **Manual Verification**:
- Navigate to **Site/Org/Repo Settings -> Actions -> General**.
- Change "Default Token Permissions" and verify that newly triggered
workflows reflect these changes in their `GITEA_TOKEN` capabilities.
- Attempt a cross-repo API call from an Action and verify the Org policy
is enforced.

This PR migrates the web Actions run/job routes from index-based
`runIndex` or `jobIndex` to database IDs.
**⚠️ BREAKING ⚠️**: Existing saved links/bookmarks that use the old
index-based URLs will no longer resolve after this change.
Improvements of this change:
- Previously, `jobIndex` depended on list order, making it hard to
locate a specific job. Using `jobID` provides stable addressing.
- Web routes now align with API, which already use IDs.
- Behavior is closer to GitHub, which exposes run/job IDs in URLs.
- Provides a cleaner base for future features without relying on list
order.
- #36388 this PR improves the support for reusable workflows. If a job
uses a reusable workflow, it may contain multiple child jobs, which
makes relying on job index to locate a job much more complicated

Extend the maximum length of comment.treepath from 255 to 4000
characters.
All databases supported by Gitea allow VARCHAR fields of 4000, so
compatibility is ensured. Git itself does not impose a strict limit on
path length. On Windows, the `core.longpaths` setting has already been
enabled to handle long file paths.

This PR upgrade xorm to v1.3.10 which fixed a bug when both `longtext
json` tags in the struct field. The `longtext` will be ignored and
`json` will be considered as `text`.
A migration has been introduced to modify the column directly to
longtext. And another two columns should also be migrated from text to
longtext.
All these changes only affect mysql database because for other databases
Gitea supported, text is the same as longtext.

Design:
1. A global setting `security.TWO_FACTOR_AUTH`.
* To support org-level config, we need to introduce a better "owner
setting" system first (in the future)
2. A user without 2FA can login and may explore, but can NOT read or
write to any repositories via API/web.
3. Keep things as simple as possible.
* This option only aggressively suggest users to enable their 2FA at the
moment, it does NOT guarantee that users must have 2FA before all other
operations, it should be good enough for real world use cases.
* Some details and tests could be improved in the future since this
change only adds a check and seems won't affect too much.

Follow #33127
This PR add backend logic and test for "anonymous access", it shares the
same logic as "everyone access", so not too much change.
By the way, split `SettingsPost` into small functions to make it easier
to make frontend-related changes in the future.
Next PR will add frontend support for "anonymous access"
When there are over 5M records on `action` table, the heatmap on
dashboard is very slow as below SQL.
```
database duration=1.8881s db.sql="SELECT created_unix DIV 900 * 900 AS timestamp, count(user_id) as contributions FROM `action` WHERE user_id=? AND act_user_id=? AND (created_unix > ?) GROUP BY timestamp ORDER BY timestamp"
```
This PR add a new index for `action` table with columns `user_id`,
`act_user_id` and `created_unix` so that this query will become about 6
times faster than before.
Noticed a SQL in gitea.com has a bigger load. It seems both `is_pull`
and `pin_order` are not indexed columns in the database.
```SQL
SELECT `id`, `repo_id`, `index`, `poster_id`, `original_author`, `original_author_id`, `name`, `content`, `content_version`, `milestone_id`, `priority`, `is_closed`, `is_pull`, `num_comments`, `ref`, `pin_order`, `deadline_unix`, `created_unix`, `updated_unix`, `closed_unix`, `is_locked`, `time_estimate` FROM `issue` WHERE (repo_id =?) AND (is_pull = 0) AND (pin_order > 0) ORDER BY pin_order
```
I came across a comment
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/24406#issuecomment-1527747296
from @delvh , which presents a more reasonable approach. Based on this,
this PR will migrate all issue and pull request pin data from the
`issue` table to the `issue_pin` table. This change benefits larger
Gitea instances by improving scalability and performance.

## Solves
Currently for rules to re-order them you have to alter the creation
date. so you basicly have to delete and recreate them in the right
order. This is more than just inconvinient ...

Fixes#22722
### Problem
Currently, it is not possible to force push to a branch with branch
protection rules in place. There are often times where this is necessary
(CI workflows/administrative tasks etc).
The current workaround is to rename/remove the branch protection,
perform the force push, and then reinstate the protections.
### Solution
Provide an additional section in the branch protection rules to allow
users to specify which users with push access can also force push to the
branch. The default value of the rule will be set to `Disabled`, and the
UI is intuitive and very similar to the `Push` section.
It is worth noting in this implementation that allowing force push does
not override regular push access, and both will need to be enabled for a
user to force push.
This applies to manual force push to a remote, and also in Gitea UI
updating a PR by rebase (which requires force push)
This modifies the `BranchProtection` API structs to add:
- `enable_force_push bool`
- `enable_force_push_whitelist bool`
- `force_push_whitelist_usernames string[]`
- `force_push_whitelist_teams string[]`
- `force_push_whitelist_deploy_keys bool`

- The migration of v292 will miss many projects. These projects will
have no default board. This PR introduced a new migration number and
removed v292 migration.
- This PR also added the missed transactions on project-related
operations.
- Only `SetDefaultBoard` will remove duplicated defaults but not in
`GetDefaultBoard`
On creation of an empty project (no template) a default board will be
created instead of falling back to the uneditable pseudo-board.
Every project now has to have exactly one default boards. As a
consequence, you cannot unset a board as default, instead you have to
set another board as default. Existing projects will be modified using a
cron job, additionally this check will run every midnight by default.
Deleting the default board is not allowed, you have to set another board
as default to do it.

Refactor the webhook logic, to have the type-dependent processing happen
only in one place.
---
## Current webhook flow
1. An event happens
2. It is pre-processed (depending on the webhook type) and its body is
added to a task queue
3. When the task is processed, some more logic (depending on the webhook
type as well) is applied to make an HTTP request
This means that webhook-type dependant logic is needed in step 2 and 3.
This is cumbersome and brittle to maintain.
Updated webhook flow with this PR:
1. An event happens
2. It is stored as-is and added to a task queue
3. When the task is processed, the event is processed (depending on the
webhook type) to make an HTTP request
So the only webhook-type dependent logic happens in one place (step 3)
which should be much more robust.
## Consequences of the refactor
- the raw event must be stored in the hooktask (until now, the
pre-processed body was stored)
- to ensure that previous hooktasks are correctly sent, a
`payload_version` is added (version 1: the body has already been
pre-process / version 2: the body is the raw event)
So future webhook additions will only have to deal with creating an
http.Request based on the raw event (no need to adjust the code in
multiple places, like currently).
Moreover since this processing happens when fetching from the task
queue, it ensures that the queuing of new events (upon a `git push` for
instance) does not get slowed down by a slow webhook.
As a concrete example, the PR #19307 for custom webhooks, should be
substantially smaller:
- no need to change `services/webhook/deliver.go`
- minimal change in `services/webhook/webhook.go` (add the new webhook
to the map)
- no need to change all the individual webhook files (since with this
refactor the `*webhook_model.Webhook` is provided as argument)
